    This cross-country ski tour to the Brazos Overlook is one of my faves, as the lunch spot is spectacular (see photo) and the kicking-n-gliding sublime (if the snow conditions are right)!

    The trailhead is about a 2-hour drive from Los Alamos followed by a moderate 7-mile-roundtrip ski tour. The tour is suitable for those with an intermediate level of cross-country ski touring experience, and the route is rated easy to moderate.

    To call this ski season mediocre is an understatement – it has been tough through much of the West. However, Wolf Creek, which advertises the most snow in Colorado, is living up to its promise. The latest storm has delivered 11”, and their snow depth is 47” at the midway point – thin for Wolf Creek, but perfectly ski-able. I would like to propose one more Pagosa/Wolf Creek outing before the 2025-26 ski season gets away from us. We had a great ski outing in mid-January, and I would like to give it one more go.

    Nice hike in the White Rock canyon, going down the Red dot trail and coming back up the Ancho trail. The loop will take us back to the car through various canyons and trails in Pajarito Acres.
    'Along the way we will see some nice petroglyphs.

    This can be done as an 11 miles loop or an 8 miles hike with shuttle. Please let me know what your preference is when you sign up. Although you will be able to change your mind once we get to Powerline.

    Daunted by the summer crowds hiking the Colorado 14ers? The spring 2025 backcountry ski on Shavano was a heap of fun. So, let's ski another Colorado 14er!

    The trailhead is at 10,850', and our total elevation gain would be 3,450'. Approximately 7 miles round-trip. 

    Participants should have alpine touring (AT) skis, telemark skis, or a splitboard. Other equipment requirements include: skins, shovel, avalance beacon, probe, and a backpack able to carry your skis (as the first part of the approach is likely to be free of snow).

    I would like to propose an spring 2026 outing to the Lower Gila Box in southeastern Arizona. Perhaps this destination will be more convenient than the Big Bend trip previously proposed, with an outfitter, Far Flung Expeditions, that comes well-recommended by a friend. The Gila is a free-flowing river that drains the northern Gila Mountains of New Mexico and the White Mountains of Arizona; Far Flung is the only outfitter on the Lower Box. There are good hiking options along the trip, generally cross-country exploring across the countryside.

    Dear Mountaineers,

    It looks like we can pull off a llama trip once again for spring 2026. Llama packer BJ and I have agreed to dates for a drop camp. BJ will plan to stay with us at camp, which will be a pleasure, since we enjoy his company.
